and then look at the radar. absolutely nothing. a lot of green. some blue over there which is great. that's where it is supposed to be. as we look through the past day, clouds moving away. and that's a good thing. because tomorrow a giant h will be right there and it will be absolutely gorgeous with lots of sun. and nice. [ applause ] >> thank you. two shows on wednesday. >> you did a pretty good job. i have to tell you. he's always asked to do that and there you go. there's your chance right now. i didn't think we were really live. we are really live. sunshine out there right now. that's what we're going to see tomorrow at 2:00. milder temperatures. i think tomorrow we get near 70 but even warmer on thursday. ahead of yet another frontal boundary. that will push temperatures into the low 70s. i speck a lot of cloud cover on thursday but i also expect to see showers and thunderstorms. most of them thursday should stay to our west. i think they will move in overnight thursday night into early friday morning. so thursday for the most part is going to be on the dry side.

as you're making your way out and about. look for clear skies. a cool evening. still nice. the temperatures, 53 to about 58 degrees. tomorrow morning, waking up to a pretty chilly start. 36 in some of the coldest suburbs. 49 in the city. it could be some frost out there. especially frederick county, maybe western montgomery and loudoun county. then tomorrow afternoon, sun and clouds and warmer. a nice afternoon. 67. did you do this, too? >> that's not me. >> 67 to 729 degrees is what it will be out there tomorrow. let's just take that off right there. 72. i think it will be around 71 in the city. as we make our way through the next couple of days, here you go. 71 on your wednesday. 73 on thursday. 73 on friday. 67 on saturday. and then 79 degrees coming up, or rather, 69 degrees coming up on sunday. monday, also pretty good. with a high temperature of about 73. it is going to be warm. the coolest days will actually be during the weekend.

so there you go. the coolest days, talking about maybe a negative 547 degrees after a 729-degree temperature. >> cane would have never let that happen. >> i let the guy in and he changes my numbers. what? >> doug and the hot talk host give a hot forecast. >> that was pretty hot. >> that was cool. good job. >> look out. >> burning up. coming up on news4 at 4:00, more on the infamous captain of the italian cruise ship disaster. he is accused of abandon shipping in a crash that killed 32 people. now, we'll tell you how he's trying to get his job back. >> i wonder, does he make eye contact with you? does he look at you for encouragement? >> and what it is like to be the first lady during a presidential debate. we'll have a one-on-one interview with mrs. obama. also, strangers turn into heroes as they rescue a woman who falls

we have a question right here. >> how has the national debt personally affected each of your lives? >> who could forget that moment

back in 1992 george h.w. bush checked his watch while a moderator fielded a question from the audience. it was a moment that suggested the president could not wait for that debate to end and it created a negative image in the minds of some viewers. it is an example of why the details are so important in a debate. joining us now is jonathan paul. he is the director of debate at georgetown university. and his team is ranked first in the nation. he is here now to talk about what the candidates need to do during tonight's debate. first you say body language is key and critical. we saw that in the vice presidential debate. >> the important thing to remember with body language is that you can't win a debate with good body language but you can most certainly lose a debate. and what the candidates need to really avoid in these debate settings in particular, the town hall where everything is open. there is nowhere you can run and hide in a town hall setting. anything that can be distracting or as we saw in the clip, that can make it look as if you're

disinterested in the debate. something that will get replayed back on youtube or mentioned on twitter as a highlight moment where it didn't look good for you. >> you say it is also important for the candidates. both candidates to find the right balance. especially in this town hall format. >> so the unique thing about the town hall format that will certainly present some challenges to the candidates is, it is not a traditional debate format where you have a slugfest between two candidates and both are going on the offense, attacking each other. you're with, you're in the midst of the audience and you want to seem respectful to your questioner. so each candidate needs to find a way to both differentiate their policies and their ideas without seeming too aggressive. and i think in particular, for president obama who was really criticized by the media for not being aggressive enough in debate number one. he really has to thread the

needle to have an effective performance tonight. >> that goes into energy level. for both candidates. mitt romney can't play it safe. neither can. >> yes. the energy level is so very important in debates. and a lot of times if you just watch a debate, you can kind of tell who do you think is winning based on who do you think is more energetic? who looks like they enjoy and they want to be there. for obama, i thought in the first debate, he didn't show any of that. it almost looked like he had better things to do or wanted to be somewhere else. and he absolutely cannot do that if he wants to have a good performance in the second debate. >> we'll know in about six or seven hours from now. >> thank you. >> sharing your insights. we appreciate it. jonathan paul from georgetown university. >> back to you. >> thinking big by thinking small. coming up on news4, apple's hint that the ipad mini could be a few weeks away. plus, life as honey boo boo. she and mama reveal how life as

crowds from several nations. survivors, families of the 32 who did not make it off the costa concordia. some said they wanted to look the captain in the eyes. also here, lawyers representing hundreds of passengers. >> we felt that he did not seem very remorseful or very sorry about what has happened on the ship. he seemed very confident. >> reporter: just as we've seen some of the panic on board, thousands of people scrambling for life boats, jumping into the water after the colossal ship struck rock too close to the island. now we hear the ship's black box. that's captain schettino in those moments, ordering the ship to be durand abruptly. >> reporter: we talked to costa cruises. they blamed the whole thing on schettino and called his suggestion that there might have been a mechanical failure a colossal absurdity. lawsuits against the parent company says other thing. not enough crew training and

language barriers and someone else is suing the company now. schettino. he wants his job back, alleging wrongful termination. back to you. >> if the captain is charged and convicted, he could face several life sentences in prison. apple revealed today that it is ready to launch a new gadget on the market. it could be the long rumored new ipad minni. the company will introduce it next tuesday. online speculation is that the ipad mini will be the answer to the more compact cheaper devices like the kindle fire. the base model is expected to cost between $200 and $300. a nice day out there this morning. let's find out about it. we've got some changes on the way. >> we do. take a look at this. this is our national harbor camera. a beautiful shot down there toward prince george's county. right along the potomac looking absolutely gorgeous across our region. take a look at the number around the area. currently sitting at 64 degrees at the airport. 59 in hagerstown. 62 in philadelphia and back

gets for honey boo boo thompson. that's what her mom june shannon told the hosts live today during a somewhat hectic interview and included a pillow fight and barbie weddings. june also talked about how life has changed. >> is your feeling that the neighbors are all happy for you? >> i'm sure there are some people out there. like i've told several other shows, i didn't say that i represent georgia. i did not say i represented the county. i represent my family as a whole. this is us every day, nonstop. >> her neck is re. >> mom says some holiday specials are in the works for their show which airs on tlc. >> honey boo boo having none of that conversation. she is all about the doll. hey, they say a picture is worth 1,000 words. what do you think this mug shot is saying? coming up on news4 at 4:00, you have to see what landed this woman in trouble with the law.
